GraphHopper is a routing engine that can be used to plan routes for vehicles, bikes, and pedestrians. In this tutorial, we will learn how to install GraphHopper on OpenBSD.
Before we start, make sure that you have the following prerequisites:
Start by downloading GraphHopper from the official website:
git clone https://github.com/graphhopper/graphhopper.git
This command will download the latest version of the software to your local machine.
Next, navigate to the GraphHopper directory and use the following command to build the software:
./graphhopper.sh build
This command will compile the source code and generate a JAR file.
After the build is complete, you can test GraphHopper by running the following command:
./graphhopper.sh test
If all tests pass, GraphHopper is ready to be used.
To configure GraphHopper, you will need to create a configuration file. Copy the config-example.yml file to config.yml using the following command:
cp config-example.yml config.yml
Edit the config.yml file to suit your needs. Some of the key parameters that you might want to configure include the data storage location, routing profiles, and the maximum number of visited nodes.
Finally, you can start GraphHopper using the following command:
./graphhopper.sh web config.yml
This command will start the GraphHopper server, and you should be able to access it at http://localhost:8989.
Congratulations, you have successfully installed GraphHopper on OpenBSD! You can now start planning routes for your vehicles, bikes, and pedestrians.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
